I would like to trade every player we have who is 28 years old or older who is currently not on the 40 man roster. I would like several aces in return.

[Jayzfan79]

Hamels and Papelbon

[ScientificReason]

Imo we don't add to the starting pitching unless it's a cheaper acquisition cost salary dump by someone. We should be able to get a fairly decent reliever or two without subtracting one of our top arms though.

 

We have our rotation set up for the future with Stroman, Hoffman, Norris, Sanchez, Hutch, and a few other guys who could go to either starting or relieving. I don't want to see us mortgage that for a shot at the post season, then spend another 10 years rebuilding.

 

We know from experience it's nearly impossible to get top starting pitchers to come to Toronto, even if we're willing to overpay them. Build the pitching from within, and buy the bats (especially after they remove the turf).

 

I hope your wrong because if we dont get a top flight starter this team has no shot at any serious contention imo.

[DuckDuckGose]

What about one of the Mets starters? What would it take to get a guy like Niese?

 

IMO something like Matt Boyd and a B prospect like DSJr

 

For a real frontend pitcher I'd be offering up Hutch + Castro + DSJr + Navarro and hope it was enough

And the season was over 2 weeks ago. We'll see what happens.

I know, but I thought I read somewhere that they were trying to deal Gee and Niese.

 

On the other hand, I don't want AA dealing with Alderson again...

[JuniorFelix]

Hamels and Papelbon

 

For Pentecost, SRF and Castro. That is fair to me if there is some salary retention on their side.

Except it wasn't? THe hitting is not going to keep this pace.

[ElNik2013]

That's the thing, I'd rather first go after salary dump type of guys and give up less. You need cheap, controllable depth like Boyd and DSJ could provide.

Yeah, that's where I don't want to go. Given what AA gave up for Dickey, I think he'll give up more than that, likely Norris.

[ElNik2013]

Of course the hitting won't keep up this pace, just like the pitching wasn't as s***** as it was earlier in the season.

 

 

We'll see what they do, if anything.

Would love to trade Norris for an ace

I think without salary retention, that's a fair deal.

[ElNik2013]

It's gonna take more than Norris and will likely be for a rent-an-Ace.

[Captain Adama]

I wonder if teams will take Ryan Goins.

 

Should be able to land a decently mediocre pitcher.

[Gorlak]

Just thought i would throw it out there and see who you guy's would be fine with to lose for pitching.I will start off with navarro, goins ,dickey,saunders

 

What team selling a starter would want any of those players, maybe Goins, but he could only net a filler reliever. I would move Pentecost for the right pitcher, Norris++ if the can get Cueto and Chapman. Wouldn't trade Hoffman, really the only prospect I wouldn't trade.

If the Jays were getting a true ace like Felix, Hamels, etc then I'd take the 2nd package. I don't want to see a rental come in unless it's a mid-rotation starter (like Niese) that will come fairly cheap.

[GD]

Felix? wat

If Norris + Castro + Pentecost + can get Chapman and Cueto I'd be all over it.

[DuckDuckGose]

Felix? wat

 

He's not available, I just love Felix and that's the kind of pitcher I'd go all-in on.

[Jimcanuck]

Pillar, Goins, DSJ, Smoral, SRF, DJ Davis, Boyd, and EE (!) are guys I would have no plm moving for pitching

[GD]

When is Chapman FA? I'd move him to the rotation lol

[DuckDuckGose]

I think he's under control through 2017.

2016

[goeb]

Its tough to say....We will have to see how the Jays look in late July, if they have a strong lead then I would risk some prospects for a #2 starter and maybe a sport starter/long reliever.

 

I just don't want t fall between two stools here.

[jays76]

Hamels and Papelbon

 

I really believe this is a deal that would happen if Hamels was willing to come here.

This comment sounds like it was being made during this conversation:

[bluebird]

goins, dickey ,navarro, pompey,sunders,norris,castro,hoffman for a number 2

[Deadpool]

I honestly don't think I would trade Hoffman straight up for a #2 right now. I'd be pretty hesitant to trade Norris, Castro or Pompey as well... Those are guys who can have short AND long term impact on this team.

 

Also, lol at sunders.
